hogmaw Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Can anyone recommend an app that has live traffic jam info? Google maps no good nor is the RAC one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I thought the RAC app recently added live traffic info? A new mobile application is set to keep Britain’s motorists moving and enable them to plan their route with the benefit of real time traffic information. The app, the first by RAC, is progressive amongst traffic apps as it shows start and end points of congestion, overlayed onto Google Maps. The app pinpoints the user’s exact location, meaning an immediate view of regional traffic is easily at hand. Text and audio summaries of traffic conditions are also available. This level of detail will give motorists the most precise and accurate view of live traffic conditions on the UK’s roads that is currently available on a mobile phone app. RAC’s app utilises up-to-the-minute traffic updates from Trafficlink, the UK’s leading provider of real-time traffic information.

Lurch Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I find chompsms very good IMO, makes texting like the iphone. Mabilo ringtones is quite good for free ringtones. antivirus is supposed to be good. I've got it but not quite sure if it does what it says it does. premotedroid is good fun when someones using your laptop. Allows you to use your phone as a mouse and keyboard. save mms for saving photos from an mms. urbanspoon for looking at local resturants. If you've got young kids, toddler lock is the best, or touch! 4kids is quite good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Traffic TV is supposed to be very good. It comes bundled with the HTC Desire if you go with Orange. Free for 30 days then £4.00 each month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Got a HTC Desire in sexy black (they didn't do white, Paul) turning up on Saturday. I've actually been looking at these (not too keen on the colour though;)) and the older Hero, mobile packages are a nightmare for old buggers like me Any tips on where to go for a low use package, been looking at T-Mobile and they have the older Hero for £60, £10 a month with 100mins talk and unlimited net etc. is this good????????

MrRalphMan Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Getting my Desire now in the next couple of days, is there a Wireless Monitor that tracks you mobile web usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldo87 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 there is that, iv got one called 3g watchdog. You can set up your monthly limit and it'll tell you how much you've used % wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I've just looked at that, it claimed only compatability with Android 1.5 & 1.6, does it work on 2.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I have one called TmobNotify. (Im with tmobile) After its configured it tells me when im xxx minutes away from using all my minutes. It also tells me daily if I have spent £x.xx over my standard free tarrif. Its quite good. Apps wise I think I use these two the most Easytether - Use phone as a modem via USB cable Remote RDP - Remote desktop Games wise : Rom Buddy - the king of downloading roms, they arent ALL there.. but wow. Wiimote Control - Use a Wii controller to play the games via bluetooth. Gensoid/Snesoid/Gameboid - whatever you use to play the roms on.

Solitaire - card game to play on the toilet Tapatalk - forum viewer TastControl - task manager Titanium Back - best backup manager for your apps and data WaveSecure - integrated security for your phone Wifi Analyser - find networks and channels.

Thorin Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 That reminds me, myPlayer is looking a pretty good replacement for beebplayer. The windows mobile version has ITV/Ch 4/Ch 5 too, but the android version just does iPlayer for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
